Thousands of Colombians took to the streets to protest against the economic and social reforms proposed by presidential candidate Gustavo Petro. The demonstrations were fueled by concerns over the potential impact of Petro's policies on the country's economy and social welfare programs.
Petro, a former guerrilla and mayor of Bogota, has been advocating for progressive reforms that include wealth redistribution, increased social spending, and environmental protection measures. While some Colombians support his vision for a more equitable society, others fear that his policies could lead to economic instability and undermine private enterprise.
